Friends! A wise person is one who always keeps his needs and demands under control. For this he has to develop a unique power within himself in order to restrain his needs in a dignified manner.
A philosopher has rightly said, “Whoever wishes to remain happy must try to control his impulses and whims. He should not get carried away by alluring mirages and fantasies.”
Several attractions try to distract us and we tend to become mesmerized by them and to forget our real selves. For instance our tongues salivate at the sight of delicious food and we start eating without thinking about the food’s nutritive value and the effect on our body. Similarly expensive and garish merchandise easily succeeds in alluring us. Eventually we waste our hard earned wealth. But ultimately all this makes us regret not keeping our minds under control.
Happiness can be acquired only through controlling and disciplining our minds. This way we will soon become our own masters!
